I know I am late to the party based on lead times but I am set on buying an armor setup. I am pretty sure I want level IV plates. Though some III+ that can stop 7.62 ball rounds have peaked my interest being that they weigh around 2 pounds a plate lighter. For level IV plates I have looked at the AR 500 ceramics, RMA 1189, and the Hesco 4401(updated version of 4400). Does anyone have experience with these plates or others that they would recommend? Also what carrier are you running or what would you recommend? I am trying to stay under $300 per plate and around $250 for a carrier. I also realize that I most likely will be waiting 8 weeks for the plates.
